Good Mixer for Solo Recording and Beat Production

[Cologero]

Just looking for some opinions on a mixer, preferably 8-12 channels for myself. I dont know too much about mixers so I'm kind of curious. I have an Mbox 2 but I want a mixer as well. Can a mixer be used with reason instruments and linked to the reason mixer or is a mixer just used for vocals?

no you need a controller like a Behringer BCF2000 to control Reasons mixer...there is no need to have a mixer in a home studio other than to record multiple instruments at once, as in a drum kit....apart from that or using it as an audio interface if its USB connected (though you already have one) or as a mic preamp (where there are other better options), a mixer is for live work..

Or to keep all of your instruments plugged in so you don't have to keep unplugging, plugging, setting gains, etc., etc....... Just mute the ones that you're not recording and presto.
